Classicsfan I believe we ran the gambit of Directors a while ago on another thread.
I believe I chose William Wyler as my favorite ("The Best Years of Our Lives", "Ben-Hur", "Mrs. Miniver", "The Good Fairy", "These Three", "The Heiress",
"Wuthering Heights", "The Letter", "The Little Foxes", "Jazebel" and many others.
Followed by Hitchcock, Ford, Wellman, Fleming, etc.

P.S. The "Mug" especially reminds me of actor Richard Cramer who played tough guy Nick Grainger in "Saps at Sea" with Laurel & Hardy. If you've seen the movie he is the escaped convict who hides out on Laurel & Hardy's boat then forces them to eat the synthectic food they prepared for him. I believe he also appeared in other L&H films also as the tough guy.

classicsfan I often thought about that "mug" that is shown during the evening features. I've come to the conclusion that it could represent all the gangsters of the 1930s and 1940s especially from Warner Brothers movies. What do you think about that?
